Situation: I make backups from C: D: E: to 2 18TB removable USB HD-drives called V: And W:.
Drives V: and W: are stored offline as they should be.
I have configured a number of configurations for this goal.

Now I want a quick temporary backup solution and copy files from D: to E:
When I try this, I get a bunch of errors where FFS asks for maps on drive V: and W: (witch make no part of the used backup-configuration)

Why does FFS this and how can I prevent those errors?

Screenshot of the error?
Guessing you still have one of those locations in a folder pair

Super! Solved! Thanks!
Don't know how this happened.
I probably copied an existing configuration and forgot about the versioning details.
I feel a bit stupid...
Many thanks anyway !!!
